SOURCES

ANDAZ SCOTTSDALE RESORT & SPA
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA

DESIGN FIRM EDG Architecture and Design,
Novato, California
THE SCRIPT Conjure the spirit of the innovative 1950s desert
art scene influenced by such architects, artists and graphic
designers as Alexander Girard, Frank Lloyd Wright and Paolo
Solari. The resort's guest rooms and grounds are a reflection of
their creative spirit-where color, line and form all comingle
and work in harmony with the natural surroundings.
THE SHOOT Make the most of the surroundings. "The desert
has long been a landscape of inspiration for artists," says
Matthew Boone, project manager. EDG Interior Architecture
and Design. "The extreme contrast of sun and shadow and the
dream-like colors of a Sonoran sunset have beckoned artists to
the American Southwest for decades. This unique juxtaposition between art and landscape is the artistic inspiration for Andaz." Light woods and lots of glass help reinforce the property's outdoors orientation.
THE HIGHLIGHT REEL Draw from special local sources. The resort has an ongoing relationship with the nearby
Cattle Track Arts Compound. Opened in 1936, that organization fosters artists, jewelers, potters, blacksmiths,
printers and performers to craft their works in an environment that prizes collaboration and creativity. Each guest
room and the resort's restaurant contains original Cattle Track artwork.
THE TRAILER Face-to-face makes things even better. Cattle Track Arts Compound artists frequent the
resort to create new works, engage with guests and share their stories.

LA SERENA VILLAS
PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA

THE SCRIPT Restore a 1930s-era private retreat
with 18 villas into a chic destination worthy of a
resurging desert city that the Los Angeles Times
recently dubbed the "capital of cool" due to its
influx of clubs, restaurants and hotels.

THE HIGHLIGHT REEL Serenity now! The
guest rooms are comfy retreats featuring carved
wood furniture paired with bright photography and beaded accent lighting that juxtaposes traditional Spanish craftsmanship with
a new colorful and modern sensibility. The
generously sized bathrooms are outfitted with
brass fixtures with industrial-style lighting and
graphic focal tile in the shower areas. Larger
suites feature freestanding clawfoot tubs.

Don't mess with the past. "Since
the original property was a historical landmark
it was imperative that we stayed true to its California/Spanish roots," says Ashley Manhan, principal designer at Avenue Interior Design. "We did
this primarily through the architecture-authentic
white plaster exterior, bronzed architectural hardware, private courtyards, fountains and graceful
lines. To add a new and current twist, all windows
and trim were customized in a blue accent paint.

Make it stylish, but also sturdy. "It
was important to the husband/wife ownership
that the property take on a very comfortable residential feel, but also function properly as a hotel,"
says Manhan. "This meant making design decisions like ceramic wood tiles in the rooms instead
of traditional wood planks for durability and
relying on hospitality manufacturers to produce
custom furniture that felt like home but could
withstand the test of time." -Matthew Hall
